Delay Alcohol Initiation Until Legal Drinking Age Or Later

“People who take their first sip of alcohol later, 15, 16, or one would hope even later... But people who, for instance, drink only once they reach legal age of drinking, which in the US, I believe in every state is 21 years old, if they take their first drink at 21, the probability that they'll go on to develop full-blown alcohol dependence or alcohol use disorder, as it's called, AUD, is very low.”
